TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF OAK TIMBERS FROM QUEEN'S HOTEL, YORK, YORKSHIRE, 1988-89.

Author(s): C Groves

Tree-ring analysis was carried out on twenty-three oak timbers from three medieval-early post medieval structures at the Queen's Hotel site in York. A master chronology was produced for the period AD1061-1271. The timbers from context 1051 were felled after AD1193, and those from context 2030 have a probable terminus post quem for felling of AD1281. The ring sequence of a single sample from context 1066 was dated to AD897-978 and has a felling date range of AD978-1008.
